The Centenary mystique: Quaint campus — and emphasis on well-being — is school’s 1st selling point

By Tom Bergeron

From the friendly neighborhood of Hackettstown to the Victorian-style building that anchors the campus to the hills that surround the campus in rural Warren County, Centenary University certainly has a quaint feel to it — a blast from the past, for sure.

“It really is different here,” new President Dale Caldwell said. “There definitely is a Centenary mystique.”

Simply put, it is welcoming — one that literally is a safe space.

This mystique has helped draw more than 1,300 students to the campus.
